We hope to be going out around January to commence work and as yet have found it quite difficult to find what we're looking for on the Internet.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

... sorry to be boring, but you have got all your licences haven't you?

Have you tried using google to find a tool hire shop - around here they also hire out acro props etc.

(or I have some for sale but then I'm probably too far away)

There are 8 Hardware stores (Ferratererias) in Elda. Any one of these should be able to supply or advise you where to obtain whatever you require. Better to ask a neighbour's recommendation for builders.



NB: I would avoid any English builders you may find. In my experience, most are cowboys.

Hi welcome

Good luck with your new house in Spain , I am in Agost about 25 min from Elda , there is a great builders merchant here , he can deliver larger items to Elda for 40€ delivery charge ( I asked him this morning after seeing your post )

If you require timber beams and rustic traditional windows there is also a great factory here too.

Cheers Tony

Forgot to say acrows are called puntales here , You can get them at Leroy Merlin diy centre in Alicante or Elche
